Water management

16 May 2011

Companies like Tata Motors, Tata Power and Tata Chemicals take on the challenge of easing the acute water shortage in the rural areas in partnership with the villagers. While the villagers identify the water courses and dig the canals, the companies facilitate the formation of irrigation cooperatives and help build the infrastructure.
The many companies of the Tata group are involved in a wide variety of community development projects and programmes, principally in India but also, increasingly, in different parts of the world.
